Inventory is down across St. Johns County, and homes are still moving

by Ben Glynn

Here is the number that matters most right now. Homes for sale across St. Johns County dropped 29.9% from a year ago, according to Real Estate Data Aggregator.

That is for the three months ending August 31, 2026. Redfin reported active listings rose 2.1% nationally for the four weeks ending November 1, 2026. Our county is moving the opposite direction.

If you are thinking of selling, that means less competition from other listings than the national headlines suggest.

If you are buying, it means fewer choices here, even with rates where they are.

Freddie Mac is not quoted here, but Realtor.com put the national mortgage rate at 7.33% in October 2026, 107 basis points above a year ago. Rates are still a real cost for buyers.

Realtor.com also reported active listings topped 1.18 million homes nationally in October 2026, up 7.4% from a year ago. That national growth in choices is not what is happening here.

In short

  1. Inventory is tighter here than the country as a whole.
  2. Homes are still selling across every ZIP in St. Johns County, just with fewer options on the shelf.

One street can look nothing like its ZIP code. A home on Markland Boulevard may sell in half the time of one three streets over.
